beef lasagna with two garlic and steamed tenderstem broccoli! :)

Yogurt-marinated chicken cubes
Green bell peppers and onions
Seasoned rice
Homemade yogurt dressing with garlic, lemon, and spices

Very happy with the results! 😋

Mushroom spinach pasta 😋
Would have added some grilled chicken but we had none in x also like this was thrown together in about 20 minutes for a quick and easy family dinner! Would have used different pasta but had none need to do a food shop

All homemade except prawn crackers and gyoza wrappers and sweet chilli sauce! Dishes include vegetable spring rolls, prawn toast, salt and pepper chicken, steamed edamame peas with smoked sea salt, vegetable stir fry, pork gyoza , and slow braised pork ribs with a sticky 5 spice glaze 😋

Prawn bisque served with crispy kale and pomme souffle, garnished with chives and crab oil

Mushrooms sauted until brown, Italian ham ,only a bit for flavour. It was a delicious lunch.

My attempt at Birria Birria tacos. Whilst I had to make do with limited ingredients ( I couldn't source authentic chillies used, or the proper cheese) so I improvised with what I could get my hands on. The result was still a spicy punchy cheesy meaty deliciousness, it hit all the spots! And the second version was a playful take - A tiny Taco alternative, using tortilla wraps cut small and baked in muffin tins until lightly crisp, then filled with a spiced minced beef filling, fresh herbs, avo, yoghurt and pomegranate seeds. Good for parties! The Birria iteration was the winner here!

Learned to cook and plate.

Fully vegetarian; black beans in tomato sauce, rice cooked in bean water (on a whim but delicious af), air fried plantain, greek yogurt, avocado, sautéed red cabbage, lime, cantaloupe.

Dinner today:

Soffrito of celery, fennel, leek, onions, garlic

Deglaze with tomato paste, white wine and fresh parsley

Blue swimmer crab meat (I used whole crab, I didn't garnish with claws or pincers, thought it would be overkill)

Garnished with fresh parsley, fennel fronds and crab oil
